Need a Dumpster in Hillsborough Fast? We Get It Down Your Driveway On Schedule
Order a 10, 15, or 18-yard roll-off bin for your Hillsborough project and it arrives on the day your crew actually starts — not "sometime this week." Long private driveway, gated entry, motor court turnaround: tell us the access on the call, and we plan the delivery around it before the truck ever leaves the yard.
Get the Size Right the First Time — Here's What Each Bin Actually Holds
Renovation and cleanout projects on Hillsborough's larger lots tend to run bigger than they look on paper. Here's what each bin actually holds, so you book once and get it right.
10-Yard
Holds about 4 pickup-truck loads. Right for a half-bath demo, small deck tear-off, a single-room cleanout, or landscaping debris from one section of the property.
Skip it if you're tearing out a full kitchen or clearing more than one area of the grounds.
Order Now15-Yard
Holds about 6 pickup-truck loads. Right for a full bathroom remodel, guest-house cleanout, garage/carriage-house clearout, or a landscaping overhaul with root balls and hardscape debris.
Skip it if you're doing a full kitchen with cabinets and countertops — go 18.
Order Now18-Yard
Holds about 7 pickup-truck loads with a higher weight allowance. Right for kitchen remodels, whole-wing renovations, estate cleanouts before a listing, or a GC running mixed construction debris across the property.
Skip it for concrete, dirt, or roofing tear-off — those need their own bin.
Order NowBigger job? 30 and 40-yard bins for full estate remodels, additions, and grounds work are priced by job.
Call for a QuoteLong Driveway? Gated Entry? Here's How the Bin Gets to Your Door Without a Mark Left Behind
Hillsborough's half-acre-minimum lots mean most deliveries involve a longer approach than a standard suburban driveway — a gate code, a curving drive, a motor court turnaround. That gets planned before the truck leaves the yard, not figured out when it's already at your gate.
Tell us the access on the call
Driveway length, width, slope, any gate code or keypad, and where the truck needs to turn around — five minutes on the phone before the delivery day.
Protection boards under the rollers
Plywood goes down under the bin's rollers on pavers, stamped concrete, or any finished surface that shouldn't take a scratch.
Right truck for the approach
Not every driveway takes a full-length roll-off truck the same way. We confirm the approach and placement spot before dispatch, not on arrival.
Coordinated with your GC or gate code
If your contractor or property manager needs to let the driver in, we coordinate directly with them so you're not the one fielding the call mid-day.
What this actually looks like on delivery day
The driver checks the approach, lays protection boards where the bin's steel rollers will sit, and places the bin exactly where you asked — tucked off to the side of a motor court, behind a hedge line, or wherever keeps it out of the way of both the crew and the front door.
One Flat Price for Your Hillsborough Delivery — No Line Items You Weren't Told About
The price you hear on the phone is the price on the invoice. Here's what's already inside it — and the one thing that gets added only if it actually applies.
What's included in every flat rate
- Delivery to your driveway, motor court, or job site in Hillsborough
- A 5-day rental period (7, 12, or 15-day windows on request)
- Pickup when you're done
- Sorting and recycling at the Redwood City yard
- Dump fees, disposal fees, fuel — all baked in
- No fuel surcharge. No environmental fee. No trip-distance line item.
How overage works (told to you upfront)
Your flat rate covers up to the weight limit for your size: 1 ton on a 10-yard, 1.5 tons on a 15-yard, 2.5 tons on an 18-yard.
Go over and the rate is 8 cents per pound — published on this page, said on the phone, printed on the invoice. The truck weighs the bin at the scale; the difference vs. your size allowance is the overage. Nothing else gets added.
Four Steps to a Dumpster That Shows Up When Your Project Actually Starts
Four steps, written so you know exactly what happens on the day. No portal logins, no callback queues.
One phone call
Tell us the project, the size you think you need, the driveway access, and the exact date your crew needs it. About 5 minutes — flat price locked, delivery date locked.
Delivered to Hillsborough
Most bookings deliver same-week. The driver already knows the access details from your call, so there's no guesswork at the gate.
Fill it on your schedule
Standard 5-day rental. Need 7, 12, or 15 days for a longer renovation? Say so when you book — picking the longer window upfront is cheaper than extending after delivery.
Picked up clean
Call or text when you're done — most pickups within 24 hours. Load heads back to the Redwood City yard for sorting, donation, and recycling before anything reaches the transfer station.
A Real Local Crew, Not a National Site Farming Your Job to the Cheapest Hauler
Search "dumpster rental Hillsborough" and most of what ranks is the same template with the city name swapped in — one result even lists a Redwood City address while claiming to be a local Hillsborough company. Call 650-367-7644 during business hours and an actual dispatcher answers, usually within three rings.
Trucks run out of the Redwood City yard — about 20 minutes from most Hillsborough addresses — so the driver already knows which streets a full-length roll-off can turn around on, which driveways need a smaller approach, and how deliveries typically work on the Peninsula's larger lots. Eco-Dumpster has been doing this since 2006. Veteran-owned. Trucks have run on 100% biodiesel since day one.
Placed Out of Sight, Picked Up On Time — Your Curb Stays Your Curb
Tell us where you'd rather it sit — tucked behind a hedge line, off to the side of a motor court, out of view from the street — and that's where it goes. Picked up within 24 hours of your call, so it's never sitting out longer than the job actually takes.
"We were struggling to find a way to remove a ton of excess dirt from our yard. We saw that Eco-Dumpster was highly rated for their service and that proved to be so true. They were so courteous and fast…"
"Eco-Dumpster are amazing. They are really accommodating around pick-up and drop-off, respond quickly to any queries and are always pleasant and helpful. Omar the dumpster guy, is super tidy and courteous to our neighbours. Highly recommend."
"Great experience, had a old junk car, no one would take, Eco Dumpster did. When I need a dumpster, they will be my only call."

Mixed Debris, Concrete, Dirt — Knowing the Difference Saves You Money
One bin can't take everything, and the rules aren't there to be annoying — they exist because some materials go to a different facility at a different rate. Sort it right at the bin and you pay less.
✓ Goes in the mixed-debris bin
- Wood, drywall, flooring (laminate, hardwood, tile minus mortar)
- Furniture, mattresses, carpet
- Cabinets, doors, windows
- Yard waste mixed with other debris
- General household junk and estate cleanout debris
- Construction debris — framing, trim, sheet goods
✕ Stays out of the bin
- Wet paint, solvents, motor oil, gas, propane (any hazmat)
- Tires
- Refrigerators / freezers with refrigerant still in them
- Asbestos
- TVs, computer monitors, e-waste
- Medical waste
- Concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt (these need their own bin — see below)
Why concrete and dirt need their own bin
Concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt, and clean roofing tear-off are inert or heavy materials priced and disposed of separately, by weight, at a different facility. Sneaking them into a mixed-debris bin almost always backfires — the load gets rejected at sort, or the overage charge from the weight wipes out any imagined savings. Call before you load and you'll get the right bin set up from the start.
